The school stabbing, Zara’s bullies in Sabah, the gang rapes, & the hazing to death of cadets are part of a culture of an enforced hierarchy. These are not crimes of passion but of power. Power is kept in place by violence, immune from consequences. Bully with impunity! Be like our political leaders

You can ban TikTok for under16s but you can’t ban patriarchal misogynistic culture. That’s the dominant culture among Malays, Chinese, and Indians (but maybe not Ibans).

In the message posted just before he was killed, Anas Al-Sharif warned of Israel's proposed liquidation of Gaza City.
He said: "Silence is complicity."
He was right.
It's just not the disgusting cheerleaders of the genocide who are guilty. It's those who chose to stay silent.

My brother is visiting me. Tonight we were talking about grab bikes in Thailand and I said all pillion passengers ought to wear helmets.
My brother said, “what’s the point? The only use of that in a crash is that the helmet keeps your brains in the helmet.” 😆

Arms dealers and cheerleaders for genocide will never be forgotten or forgiven
A tipping point has been reached.
Gaza is now starving to death in front of the whole world.
Those who facilitated and justified this abomination were given ample warning for 21 months.
You have no excuses, and nowhere to hide: you will be held to account for what you've done.
